Dover’s CIP going to public hearing November 28

DOVER — A list of fiscal year 2014 capital improvement program items were unanimously approved to be referred to a public hearing.

On Wednesday, Nov. 28, a public hearing will be held on the authorization of bonding, non-debt financed projects and the establishment of school facilities, curriculum and athletics in the capital reserve fund.

These items, which include the new police station, renovations to Dover High School and public works projects, will then be voted on by the City Council on Dec. 2.

The vote by councilors will be on whether they approve the plans in the capital improvement program. Affordability and payment will be discussed during budget season.

Mayor Dean Trefethen reiterated after the school proposal that at this time, they are only approving a plan. During budget season, they will decide if they are able to afford to pay for the plan they propose.
